Vinyl is one of the most popular materials for crafting with the Silhouette Cameo. It’s versatile, easy to use and offers a huge variety of colors and finishes. But what exactly does vinyl come with the Silhouette Cameo?
When you purchase a Silhouette Cameo, it comes with a 12” x 12” cutting mat, a cutting blade and some vinyl samples to help get you started. The vinyl samples are great for testing out different settings on your machine before making more permanent projects.
The vinyl that comes with your machine is generally adhesive-backed and can be used to make decals, labels, stickers and more. Depending on the brand you purchase, it may come in either sheets or rolls. The sheets are typically thicker than the rolls, which makes them better suited for more complex designs.
The adhesive-backed vinyl that comes with the Cameo can also be used in a variety of other applications such as window decals, wall decals, car wraps, signs and even heat transfer projects. It’s especially useful when crafting with fabrics because it can easily be applied using a hot iron.
In addition to the adhesive-backed vinyl that comes with your machine, there are also several other types of vinyl available. Heat transfer vinyl is a popular choice as it allows you to create custom t-shirts and other garments by transferring your design directly onto fabric.
Glitter, metallic, frosted, clear, fabric, printable, flocked and reflective are just some of the many types of specialty vinyl available for use with your Silhouette Cameo.
Conclusion:
Vinyl is an essential material for creating crafts and decorations with the Silhouette Cameo. The machine typically comes with some adhesive-backed sample material as well as other types of specialty vinyl depending on what you need. There are many different types available including glitter, metallic, frosted, clear, fabric, printable flocked and reflective so you can find something suitable for any project.
